Picked up the rear-most body mounts to the frame. The instances on the trail where I can no longer advance, it is best to back up and try a different line. I know that where I came from was good.

fuse panel Am narrowing down the search of components for the rewire. I like the specs on the Blue Sea Systems 12 circuit panel with ground bus: It has the screw type wire attach; I like that because I can solder terminals to the wires, then screw them down, and observe the integrity of that...

Cut them down on the bandsaw, retains the double bead lock feature. I got these originally with the early,8 bolt wheels; transitioned them to the 12 bolt wheels with no issue.

I like the concept I can appreciate what you are doing there: I started with an M109A3, switched the box over to an M35A3 to get the CAT+Allison. The 5-ton looks like a more stable platform. Your driving impressions having driven both? Does it "feel" top heavy like the 109 did?

Too late now, but a thermal assay with shiny side down would have been interesting as well.

Concur on the star ground above the park brake. Following advice from here, I inspected that and found nothing was attached to it. Cleaned it up good, attached the wires that were supposed to go there, what a difference. Turn signals, gauges, voltmeter, bunch of stuff works now. I think its safe...

I like your Blazer on "tons' I'm kinda partial toward such things ;)

Ah, but he did use gravity for good, not for evil.

clear hoses Well, now, I believe you are on to something....if I use clear​ hose, then the bright green coolant would show thru.............heeeey ;)

heater hoses Just because I've been meaning to do it as PM. An opportunity to change the coolant as well. Put the "splint" around the smaller hose at the alternator. Its an easy task, I just had to wait to be inspired to do it.

Extra-ordinary, actually ;)

"It's tough being green"(K.Frog) The green is my way of being contrary. I mean, does anyone strive to be ordinary? :)

locks x 4 Four Master locks keyed alike. Easier than wrasslin' with cotter pins.

working compliance stuff Just to make my life easier. You see, the Blazer isn't a trailer queen yet: I have to drive it to/from the trail head. Maybe on a Federal highway once in awhile. Mud flaps. Requirement in AZ for a lifted vehicle. An easy bust in Oro Valley as one has to pass thru...

OK. Since I have been presented with a logical and reasonable argument, then I am willing to change my view. I'll fix the turn signals.....and the license plate light...and install mud flaps (that IS a compliance thing around here for any lifted vehicle).

"Whattaya in for?" :) Here is another truck with a green bowtie, so it HAAAAAS been done before.

Yeah, FLU, I tried towing a Jeep once. The way my vehicle is set up, it became clear real quick that I should not be towing anything. Couldn't go over 30 MPH without the tail wagging the dog. So may as well ditch the hitch.

Actually, electrical signals are not mandatory here. Any mechanism that signals the driver's intent will do. I'm not convinced that I like them there, maybe will do like a previous member suggested: use the inboard signals that the later models have.

took mine off 44 lbs worth.

itty bitty turn signals turn signals, sort of. Left turn on at this moment, seeing if the aux LEDs overpower it. Oh, and I found a can of green paint ;)
